5. An attacker swings a board with a mass of 2 kg toward a victim. The acceleration is 10 m/s2 when the board hits the victim. How much force did the board exert on the victim? Obj. 7.2​

Respuesta :

The force exerted on victim is 20 newton

Solution:

An attacker swings a board with a mass of 2 kg toward a victim

The acceleration is 10 [tex]m/s^2[/tex] when the board hits the victim

To find: Force exerted on victim

The force is given by formula:

[tex]F = mass \times acceleration[/tex]

From given,

[tex]mass = 2 \text{ kg }\\\\Acceleration = 10[/tex] [tex]m/s^2[/tex]

Substituting the values in formula,

[tex]Force = 2 \times 10 = 20[/tex]

Thus force exerted on victim is 20 newton
